Both accounts are 100% SPA for International Anti-Corruption Academy. A case was filed at COIN about the master's promotional direct editing; have been working with them to try and show them how WP works, to little avail. They have disclosed that they are the PR person for the academy, as you can see on their userpage, but they have continued to push for promotional content.

The sock showed up today and wrote on its talk page, the phony-sounding statement: I am HeadOverHeals, a burning fan of public governance, specifically international organizations, and I will be eagerly looking at various articles as well as hoping to create a lot of new and useful stuff here. Best wishes for all of your projects!

The master was very hot to add (eg diff),
 * specific language to the lead, about it being a "a post-secondary educational institution,"
 * insisted on using embedded URLs for various treaties etc.

The sock showed up at the article today and in diff
 * added "a post-secondary educational institution,"
 * used yet another embedded URL
 * removed one section of negative information and mushified another, committing OR in the process

 * Ack. There is actually no need for a CU here, in my view.  Sorry -- I don't know how to fix that. Jytdog (talk) 23:31, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for de-CUing this! Jytdog (talk) 00:28, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

A new account has joined the fray, out of no where and a WP:SPA, doing exactly what accounts above are doing -- Jytdog (talk) 16:52, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
